The black clouds gradually dispersed, and a strange figure emerged from the clouds. The broad figure was swaying in the sky, and the position of its legs was asymmetrical and swollen. It was indescribably strange as it swayed back and forth.
Taking a closer look, he realized that it wasn't a person at all, but a falcon with its wings spread out. Its feet seemed to be filled with lead, and it was tightly holding onto two other figures. One of them was particularly bloated because there was a corpse tied to its back.
The corpse was tied very tightly, and William could still feel the faint residual warmth on the surface of the corpse. However, after a while, the corpse would gradually become cold and stiff, and livor mortis would slowly climb up the skin.
"I have to send the corpse over as soon as possible!" William felt the temperature of the corpse start to cool. Although he did not know why, Yarlin's order was to send the Golden Lion Shiki's corpse to 153 Branch before the corpse completely turned cold and stiff.
After a person died, the temperature of the corpse would drop, and the heat in the corpse would be lost. When all the heat was lost, it meant that the cell activity of the corpse had completely disappeared.
Corresponding to the Devil Fruit ability user, within two to five hours after death, the nest could completely extract the Devil Fruit from the body.
The range of values was relatively wide, and this was the proof he obtained from hunting Devil Fruit ability users. The closer it was to two hours, the higher the probability of extracting the Devil Fruit. On the contrary, the closer it was to five hours, the lower the probability.
Once the deadline of five hours was exceeded, the ability of the Devil Fruit would completely disappear from the corpse.
"I have to send the corpse over within the time limit set by Yarlin!" William had bet all his chips on the gambling table, and even endured the pain of killing his confidant. His eyes were red, and he roared at Bell, "Go to Shields Island, faster, faster!"
Bell also did not know why William was so determined to go to Shields Island, and he did not understand why he was racing against time. However, the scene of William brutally killing Ah Jin sent a chill down his spine. At this moment, when the antidote was still in William's hands, he did not want to go against him anymore.
Shields Island port.
A battleship marked with the serial number 153 sailed in quickly. After leaving the battlefield, the battleship returned to Shields Island as quickly as possible.
Klot walked down from the deck. Klot adjusted his gold-rimmed spectacles and looked up at the sky. A black dot was rapidly enlarging on his spectacles. His lips curled into a cold arc. "Heh, I underestimated you. I've already let you live to complete the mission!"
"Is that the Navy?" Bell's sharp eyes looked down at the docked warship below. His expression changed slightly as he asked William, "Are you sure you want to land?"
William lowered his head and stared at the outline of the naval battleship. The scene below was magnified in his field of vision, and Crowe came into view. His expression changed several times before he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Go down!"
The entire port was under martial law. It was so quiet that only the sound of the cold wind could be heard. There was also that familiar fake smile on Crowe's face. His hypocritical greeting entered William's ears the moment he stepped on the ground. "You were able to steal the body of the Golden Lion Shiki from under Sakazuki's nose. It seems that keeping you alive is more valuable!"
William stepped on the ground, his eyes vigilantly looking at the Navy soldiers around him. The smell of gunpowder and blood still filled the air. He was really afraid that Crowe would suddenly order these soldiers to shoot him.
"I've brought the body of the Golden Lion Shiki and Dr. Indigo." When William spoke, Bell and Dr. Indigo looked at each other with a confused expression. Their Adam's apple moved as they swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Different thoughts flashed in their minds.
"Follow me!" Crowe glanced at the body of the Golden Lion Shiki and replied with a fake smile, "Hurry up."
William's expression didn't change, but he let out a long sigh of relief. At least Crowe wouldn't dare to openly defy Yarlin's will and kill him. He carried the body of the Golden Lion Shiki and quickly followed Crowe's footsteps.
Bell took a step forward and spread his wings to block William. His voice was very anxious. "It's time to give me the antidote!"
"Seems like there's a story between you two?" Crowe's eyes flashed with a dangerous cold light. He stared at William and said darkly, "William, I thought he was one of us."
As his voice fell, the Navy soldiers around him raised their guns at the same time. The dark gun barrels were all aimed at him.
William's heart skipped a beat. What he was most afraid of was giving Crowe a chance to make a fuss. He snorted coldly and took out a green bottle of reagent. He threw it up and caught it. Then he said to Bell, "Wait here for me to come back. I promise you'll get the antidote."
After he finished speaking, William ignored Bell, whose expression was extremely ugly. He met Crowe's eyes with a cold gaze. "I'll discipline the people I brought."
"It's up to you!" Crowe retracted his gaze and walked towards the Naval Branch. He said in a voice that only William could hear, "Don't let Colonel Yarlin wait for too long!"
William quickly followed and walked along the clean road to Naval Branch 153. Along the way, there were Navy soldiers emitting a murderous aura. The seagull flag fluttered in the wind in the spacious field.
"I know. You must have thought of inciting Shiki to destroy Naval Branch 153. Don't deny it!" Crowe waved his hand to stop William's quibbling. He said regretfully, "It's a pity that you didn't do that. Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing in front of me today."
William's mouth twitched. He stared at Crowe's figure in front of him, and his gaze became increasingly fearful. However, the killing intent in his heart was incomparably intense. He clenched his fists and asked, "Arlen, do you want to revive the Golden Lion Shiki?"
William knew some of Yarlin's secrets. He knew that Yarlin could manipulate the Living Dead. To some extent, it was a strange resurrection. But he didn't know to what extent Yarlin could do.
They walked all the way to the gate of the prison. Crowe stared at the flowerbed around the prison. The red flowerbed was growing happily. Crowe pointed to the flowerbed and said, "The flowerbed here is irrigated with the corpses of pirates. All the pirates who entered this prison have never come out alive. Do you think you can come out alive?"
William could tell that Crowe was telling the truth. His back was faintly sweating. He looked at the iron door that was pushed open. Inside was a dark and cold corridor. The corridor was surrounded by empty cells. He braced himself and walked in. "It seems that today is an exception!"
